A shower hose is essential for hand held showers as it provides the funnel to move the water from the water line to the hand shower. Shower hoses are often made of a rubber or flexible metal that allows the shower hose to be durable and functional at the same time. Shower hoses come in variable lengths dependent on the amount needed for your installation and they are made by all of the top brands such as Kohler, Grohe and American Standard, to name a few.
